10 Best Learning Gifts for Kids

I love the challenge of finding holiday gifts for my kids that not only are fun but encourage learning, too. (Even better if the kids can't tell that the gifts are educational!) So if you need some shopping ideas, here are the year's most-wished-for kid learning toys and how they're educational.

1. ColorkuLike Sudoku but with colored marbles instead of numbers. It's a fantastic game for logic and problem solving.

2. Doorbell HouseThe cutest cottage with four doors, each with a unique lock, matching keys, and a special doorbell sound. Great for visual-spacial skills and problem solving.

7. Tapeffiti Fashion Design ChallengeAre your kids as crazy about tape as mine? This kit helps them use tape to create clothes. Imagination plus math and visual-spacial skills make this a great creative learning product.

9. BlundersPlay this board game and learn your manners along with the Blunder family. Lots of laughing in this game! Of course, you're learning manners but also cooperation and communication.

10. Hide and Seek GeocacheTalk about learning and fun mixed together! This is everything you need to start geocaching -- which is like a huge outdoor treasure hunt using a GPS. Kids will learn orienteering, geography and more.
